Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has vowed to continue the legal battle.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has vowed to continue defending what he considers Texans’ right to carry firearms on land owned or leased by governmental entities.

The Texas Supreme Court ruled Thursday night that it would not block a firearms ban at the State Fair of Texas. Paxton’s office had sued claiming the city and the fair are violating state law by prohibiting most people from bringing firearms onto public property.

A Dallas County judge declined to issue an injunction preventing the ban’s enforcement. Neither the Fifteenth Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court intervened.

    Texans’ right to carry firearms on land owned or leased by governmental entities.

    Like the courthouse, police station, and state capitol building? Can I carry my gun there? No? Wow, I wonder why.

    What a jackass. Couldn’t even put in the work to properly file in the first place. Of course there’s a good chance he did that on purpose just so he could waste more of my taxpayer money.
